bolt, carefully apply pressure with one foot

● Place the jack under the jacking point and
turn the crank until the arm of the jack is di-
rectly below the vertical rib under the door
sill.
● Align the jack so that the arm of the jack
fits around the rib under the door sill and the
movable base plate of the jack is flat on the

ground Fig. 60.
● Continue turning the jack* until the wheel
is slightly lifted off the ground.
WARNING
● Make sure that the jack* remains stable. If
the surface is slippery or soft, the jack* could
slip or sink, respectively, with the resultant
risk of injury.
● Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-
plied by the manufacturer. Other vehicles
could slip, with the consequent risk of injury.
Only mount the jack* on the support points
●
designed for this purpose on the strut, and
always align the jack correctly. If you do not,
the jack* could slip as it does not have an ad-
equate grip on the vehicle: risk of injury!
● The height of the parked vehicle can
change as a result of variations in tempera-
ture and loading.
